Possible red-tail hawk?
 

Was walking around at the Morton Arboretum in LIsle, IL taking pictures of the trees turning, when I spotted this guy having a snack. I don't see too many raptors since I live in the city, but to me this one seemed huge! </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I did some research and from what I can tell it's probably a female red-tailed hawk. I hesitate to confirm that however as compared to a pair I saw back in February, this was about twice the size and the closest image I saw to what this one looks like indicated it was a juvenile. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyways, I'd appreciate a confirmation on the ID if anyone could provide it. C&amp;C is welcome of course too.</p>
